Syllabus - Rules

Chairperson: Kathleen Friedman

Solo Section

Each performer will play one or two selections of contrasting styles. Concerto movements and compositions written to be played with orchestra may not be played as solos. All selections must be played from memory.

Sonatas are generally considered ensembles and may not be played as solo pieces. If a sonata is to be played in the Ensemble Section, the entry rules for ensembles apply.

Concerto Section

Each peformer must also enter the Solo Section with appropriate solo repertoire to qualify for the Concerto Section. Performers are expected to play, from memory, one or two movements of a standard concerto repertoire work. An accompanist is required.

Ensemble Section

Each ensemble will play one selection, or one full movemement, or a combination of movements, from a standard repertoire work within the time limit. Performers may use sheet music, but must provide their own music stands. A pianist, other than an accompanist for a duet, must be a student and will be considered as part of the ensemble. Each member of the ensemble must enter the class that corresponds to the age of the oldest member of the ensemble.

Any class consisting of three or fewer performers will be combined with another class
